Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on May 25, 1936)

Happy Birthday, Gary Foster! Another year older and still hitting all the right notes—literally. From Grammy-winning soundtracks to Academy Award-worthy melodies, your multireed magic has graced countless iconic moments in music history. Honestly, we're starting to suspect you might secretly be responsible for every catchy tune stuck in our heads.

And let's not forget your incredible dedication as an educator at Pasadena City College and beyond; you've inspired generations of musicians who now proudly annoy their neighbors with endless practice sessions. Here's wishing you another harmonious year filled with laughter, joy—and maybe fewer squeaky reeds!

Cheers to you!
